Flower Therapy On A Cold Winter’s Day

~ Uncategorized

“Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭12:10

Hello sweet friends! I know many of you are in the throes of very cold winter weather. We have experienced colder temps over the past couple of days but nothing compared to so much of our country..just reading the minus temps and wind chill factors make me cold! I promised I would let you know about our predicted snowfall…we didn’t get a single snowflake. I know so many of you are trying to dig out from the snowfall, so I am not complaining. By the weekend our highs will be back in the 60’s! With the freezing temps, I thought we could all use a little flower therapy on this cold winter’s day!  Grab a cuppa and enjoy all of the photos and original links below!  I would also love for you to follow me on social media:  Pinterest • Instagram • Facebook • Twitter. ‬ ‭

You know spring has arrived in the South when the dogwood trees bloom…

…and the azaleas and snowballs start showing out!

“And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.”
‭‭Colossians‬ ‭3:17‬ ‭

Welcome sweet friends! I am always so thrilled that you drop in for a visit. Most of you know that gardening is one of my favorite hobbies, and if you are the same or just admire another’s hard work, you will enjoy today’s post. Last week, we partied in the garden for the last time in 2018 at our Gardens Galore link up party! Instead of choosing three or four features, I am sharing a little of what each blogger linked up…they were all so wonderful! Just click the highlighted link under each photo to take you to the post. You will be inspired and maybe you will want to take notes for future gardening ideas!

This was my most liked and commented on garden photo for 2018. It happens to be my favorite. Many suggested I enlarge and frame it. Who knows, you might see it somewhere in my house in the future!

Hello sweet friends, I hope your week is off to a good start.  We were glad to see rain yesterday with more rain expected today!  I’m not always so happy for a week of forecasted rain, but since it’s promising cooler temps, I can pull out the umbrella and rainboots and get excited! Most of you know how much I love this time of year…the warm colors and the tastes of fall are two of my favorite things. Join me in the garden today as we experience the early days of autumn!

For a tablecloth, I used a plaid throw with my favorite fall colors…gold, orange, and brown!READ MORE
